You got. A song parody classic by Someone Far More Clever Than Me.
To be sung to the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man":
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday.
Still slaving away at Paul Weiss.
There's an old brief sitting next to me-
I've already filed it twice.
Law, law law, diddy daw,
Law law law law law law.
The partner said, "Find me a precedent,
Though I'm not really sure of the cite.
It's in an F. Supp.-
Now, I've got to schtupp,
But you, you'll be working all night."
Find me a cite,
Your'e the lawyer guy.
It's the job of a new legal hack.
But you'll keep working for the law firm;
You're addicted to money like crack.
John passed the bar, he's a friend of mine.
Now he's doing time at Wachtell.
To bill enough hours, he works in the shower,
After dining on Aquafresh gel.
Law, law law, diddy daw,
Law law law law law law.
He said, "Bill, I believe this is killing me,"
As he slugged down some Pepto Bismol.
"My ulcer fell into my hernia
And my bladder has filled up with gall."
Law, law law, diddy daw,
Law law law law law law.
Paul is a real estate partner.
Who never had time for a wife.
And he's talking with Harvey,
who's still taking Bar/Bri-And probably will be for life.
And the secretary is practicing tae- kwon-do
With her legs way up high on the desk.
You ask her to jot down a letter,
But she hollers she's being oppressed.
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday.
The associates all file in.
'Cause they know that their job
is to cheat, steal, and rob,
And they'll be axed at the drop of a pin.
And the copier sounds like a carnival.
And your dictaphone smells like a beer.
We all take the bar but we never go far.
This is a bogus career.
